The trunk of the car gets its own special section in the interior page because it is not part of the "main" interior.

Here are some new interior pictures. I wasn't really sure whether these were to go into accent painting or here but I chose here because I am going to redo the entire interior in black so it fit better on this page. Basically, I was at Walmart checking out clearance stuff and came across some cans of black vinyl spray paint for $.70 and could pass it up since I wanted the car black inside anyway. We painted all of them "in car" except for the front right door. We got it off, it was a pain to get off so we left the other ones on to paint. If we had had more time it would have been worth it to take the others off but they still look fine, just a few here and there spots missed because of creases and such. Unfortunately the two cans I got weren't enough to do the entire inside, just the doors and the upper part of the dashboard and half of the lower dash.And they don't have anymore paint like it because it was clearance *sigh* so now I have to find some other place that sells it and pay full price per can : ( I also bought some suede for the headliner but we haven't put that on yet. It looks cool though so here you go:

All four being painted in their respective positions:

Here are the latest pictures of the interior. I have completed 95% of the painting in it. I decided to go with a wood grain with black vinyl/leather steering wheel for it, now to find someone that sells one... Enjoy:

I bought some LED strips off of ebay and finally got around to installing them a few weeks ago but before I could post them my computer crashed. So, now that it is fixed here they are. The ceiling lights are the original bulbs, I just sharpied them red because I couldn't find any of the size that "naturally" came red. I also finished putting in the rest of the interior trim all painted in black. I am thinking about putting red license plate neons under both seats because the back floor is so dimly lit now because of the red top light. Enjoy:

So, I finally got around to covering the holes that I cut in the door panel carpet (to show off the speakers in there). It basically involved some plywood, glue, a Dremel tool, 5 hours and all of my cunning. But, I am very pleased with the results. I have pictures because I KNOW you are all excited to see what I did : )

I have finished re-coloring the interior parts (seats, door carpets, rear window carpet). It was supposed to be jet black like everything else but ended up being a 2 tone dark gray/really dark gray lol. Oh well, it looks great IMO. These are some of the "in progress" pictures but I haven't gotten chance to get some of the completed interior back in the car because of snow. Enjoy:

Hey, nice to see your still going strong at the LeSabre. I have a simple intake system on the way and will be getting it on in a week or so. How tough was your fog light system to install wiring wise?
